Declaration Brewing Company

Declaration Brewing has one of the most spacious, dog-friendly and well-thought-out drinking areas in Denver, complete with games, TVs and a snowboard theme. Two enormous garage doors open up onto a large, relaxing oasis of a gated side patio, filled with well-shaded tables, potted flowers, a ping-pong table, a spacious grassy area for cornhole and other lawn games, backyard lights, and a pad set aside just for food trucks. There's also a grand mural of Uncle Sam, who wants YOU to drink beer here. The casual outdoor area is the picture that would be next to the encyclopedia entry for "brewery patio in Denver," if there were such an entry.
